Forza Motorsport 5 Review | The Escapist

It's a gorgeous game that shows off the next-gen console, and it's one of the few exclusives being released at launch. Maybe you're jumping, like me, into this kind of game for the first time, but if you're looking for an in-depth review of driving mechanics, you may want to look elsewhere.

"I just don't have the skills to know if those other cars are behaving like standard AI or like real players." - lol then you sir, are a fool. Play gta1 to 5 for a few minutes and experience synchronised driving at its finest, then have another go on Forza. Then tell me if you cant notice the difference.

In my opinion this is not a very professional review, more like a friend talking about his impressions. Many things as highlighted above, just dont make sense.

This is something i dont understand. WHY the HELL are people that have never played racing games reviewing them ? (sessler) If i were to play cod for instance as someone who has never played fps games before, i would think its the best shooter game, but then i play other fps games and theyre much better than cod. Let a racing fan review racing games.

A lot of people are complaining about not having a day and night cycle. Its a professional racing game. Why would you be driving so long that you need to see the sun move across the sky a few inches. For this type of game, expecting that to be in the game is as irrelevant as wondering why the cars don't have mounted machine guns.

Easy. Most games let you choose a form of timelaps, so 1 hour is 5 minutes for example, that way you can enjoy a different lightning each lap. GT5 does it with a few tracks (the tracks with 24h races), racing the Nordschleife for one hour that way - starting in the dark and finishing at noon - is sooo beautifull, I guess it's something you must have experienced yourself before you can judge if people can miss it.

No Nordschleife, no day/nicht cycle, no support for current wheels, not even last years official (and expensive) Forza wheel. If Forza fans accept all that...simply unbelievable. Might as well give them those machineguns:)
